Understanding elder abuse and neglect

What is it about?

This paper reviewed and discussed the existing literature and available research findings related to understanding elder abuse and neglect in the Chinese immigrant community in Canada. It was found that the influence of race, ethnicity, immigrant status, and cultural norms on the recognition, identification, prevention and intervention of elder abuse and neglect are important to consider. The understanding the social cultural context in which elder abuse or neglect emerges, like the socio-cultural circumstances that they have experienced, their social environment, and various barriers and challenges, should be critical for professionals in supporting and assisting them.
